The Dangers of UK Safety Socket Covers

[sailorashore]

When my boy was a toddler,he got hold of my keys and managed to poke one in the earth and another into the live...BANG ! result? I had to find my spare car key as it wouldn't work anymore and he still has a bit of a phobia with electrical sockets
Tip, keep bunches of keys away from kids!

my sister in law didn't bring the kids round again for 2 weeks because he shouted at him...!!
